I never really care to much for this Jersey Foul stuff. Doesn't make you any more/less of a fan. Was messing around with a buddy from school telling him his jersey looked like crap, he said it was a 30$ ebay jersey and that he ends up just spilling beer on them and stuff anyways so he isn't going to buy 150$+ real one. The more I think about it the more I agree. Who cares if some little kid puts his real name on the back of a jersey, it's a kid.

If people want to have fun with it, have fun. I have a 1979 Pens custom Lemieux Jersey, because I really liked those Jerseys, and wanted it to say Lemieux for everything he's done for the organization? Foul? I don't care, its what I wanted to have. So I don't know why everyone else gets so upset over this.

Ever heard of metrosexual?

If I were to draw a Venn Diagram of Hockey Fans and Metrosexuals prior to viewing this thread, I wouldn't have had any overlap of those two circles. Now I realize there are at least 3 or 4.....assuming they are all men....and assuming they are factually metrosexuals.

Never understood the "Mascot" jerseys. I often see people in Columbus sporting "Stinger" jerseys. I guess when you have a revolving door, its hard to get attached to a specific player. But in Pittsburgh, it is a punishable offense to wear an Iceburgh jersey or one with your own name and number. Its called respect. By the way, I still wear my #18, Francois LeRoux jersey.

After some jagoff (read: me) drunkly burnt a cigarette hole in my 400 dollar legit everything Malkin jersey (thankfully at the bottom and not noticable to most), I started going the borntrade route. I shake my head when I see the jerseys with the blatantly wrong fonts, or other super terrible things, but I no longer care if someone has a jersey that you can tell is "close but not quite right."

9 out of 10 times that I'm wearing a jersey there is alcohol and large crowds of people involved, its just not worth it to spend hundreds of dollars to have them get beer and nacho cheese and ranch and whatever else all over them.

Edit: Mascot it up all you want, but I'm not a fan of putting your own name and number on it. And I'm its worse if you give yourself 66/87/99 or a "C"

i know, i know 'pics or it didn't happen'.. but i once saw a guy with a dallas stars jersey that had LINDEN and 16 on it. what? can you imagine if you saw a pens jersey w/ lucic or subban or even someone tame like st. louis? i'm not a jersey foul guy, but i do draw the line there.

I saw what was the worst foul I have ever seen in regards to a jersey. Not that any of it really bothers me, but since I read this thread and I saw this guy last night. A guy had a Clemente 21 Pens Jersey on. Next are we going to retire the #42 on hockey jerseys in memory of Jackie Robinson...
